Quantitative Characterization of Pore Space for the Occurrence of Continental Shale Oil in Lithofacies of Different Types: Middle Jurassic Lianggaoshan Formation in Southeastern Sichuan Basin of the Upper Yangtze Area

In addition to marine and marine-continental transitional strata, the continental ones are also widely distributed in various oil and gas-bearing basins in China. The continental shale generally provides favorable material bases for hydrocarbon generation, such as wide distribution, large thickness,...
